This sunscreen definitely leaves a cast on my deep skin, but I love it. It doesn’t irritate my skin and is great for the colder months. I wouldn’t recommend it for the summer/spring, as it is very greasy. I’ve been tolerating the cast, since we’re in quarantine and wearing masks. Great review!
What do you use in summer months if I might ask? I’m always on the lookout for good mineral based sunscreens that won’t leave me to look like I’m trying to lighten my skin tone all the while looking crazy while just trying to protect my skin.☺️
Same! It leaves a cast on me too and does not irritate my sensitive skin. It is also very greasy and wears well in the winter. In the summer months I lean more towards chemical.
I looked so gray wearing it. I brought it because a black dermatologist on UA-cam recommended it. I still use it, but even my boyfriend noticed I looked a bit like a ghost. It feels very nice , but it does leave a cast.
I use Pipette SPF, powder, and balm. The Mom products are scented. It leaves a white cast and I am deep. I don't mind looking ghostly; it isn't as bad as other brands. It doesn't irritate my skin. I think that it is geared towards dry skin.
I have very dry skin. Love pipette. I apply half rub in then apply the rest. Then you glossier skin tint. No white cast. No oil look. Other spf left my skin dry and I dont like chemical spf
I tried the sunscreen several months ago. I thought the cast was minimal considering it's SPF 50 and 20% zinc oxide. I've tried a handful of sunscreens like this and thought this one was the best.
FYI. The Pipette Baby Ezcema Lotion shares many of the same ingredients as their sister company’s product Biossance Squalane & Omega Repair Cream. If you like Biossance, I suggest reviewing the ingredient’s list of Pipette’s products. I think you will find that they share at least 80% of the same ingredients at a much lower price point.

I have the sunscreen! I’m FP scale 5 (I’m south asian). I definitely slather it on, but the cast leaves after a few minutes! So dont be put off! I don’t wear foundation/tinted moisturiser and have used it for months. I will say though, that if you’re oily or combo, skip. This is my winter sunscreen.
@@vidyadevi5405 honestly, in my 5 years of wearing mineral spf on and off, this is one of the better ones. I loved derma e’s spf 30 mineral until they reformulated to include 20% zinc oxide from 16% 😕 it still bothers me to this day lol
I've been using the eczema lotion, baby lotion (fragrance free), and mineral sunscreen for a couple months and really enjoy them! I use all of these products on my face and, while everyone is different, these didn't aggravate my acne. For reference, I am an adult female with extremely acne prone, reactive, sensitive, and eczema prone skin. My skin type, especially during winter, is much more dry but in the hotter months it gets more combination. I would say that these are much more suitable for the dryer winter months, especially the sunscreen - this is VERY oily and if you have dryer skin like me, you might love it, but if you have oily skin, I'm not sure if you'd love it. I do think, however, that the baby lotion is light enough to use all year round (this is probably my favorite out of all 3 that I have). Hope this mini review helps someone :) Thanks for doing a review Dr. Dray! I've been curious about the cream to powder and will definitely give this a try for my underarms and upper thigh areas. Love your content so much!
I've tried both Biossance and Pipette SPF. I decided to continue Pipette over Biossance because Pipette has a higher SPF and is half the price for twice the amount. It's been a great break for my wallet (I slather on sunscreen). It is also one of the few sunscreens that doesn't make my face burn, since I have stupid sensitive skin.
@@anastasiawalter2390 Biossance definitely has a lighter feel and less of a white cast (although it still has some), while Pipette feels thicker/heavier.
I agree. Also the first (of many) sunscreens that I've tried that doesn't burn when it gets in my eyes. Its been a long 3 years, but I'm finally happy with this one.
@@dizzy5160 I have hormonal acne and combo skin. I have a lighter skin tone. My skin typically leans more towards Fitzpatrick 3, but has become a bit lighter since using Azelaic Acid.
The Sunscreen is just perfect for dry sensitive skin. Literally the only mineral sunscreen that didn't dry my skin. I am glad I found it. Thank you Dr. Dray.
For me the baby sunscreens are so gentle and moisturizing and when you apply your makeup over them it acts like a flawless filter!!! A win win!!!! I will be purchasing this:*)
I’m still about the CVS spf 50 in the tub. Same spf as this Pipette, but it’s waterproof and a fourth of the cost. I use it once in the morning, then switch to a tinted sunscreen in the afternoon to avoid a severe cast by the end of the day (FItz 4, southeast Asian skin). Love love love it. Thanks for everything Dr. Dray 💜💜
I didn't even know this brand existed. Yay, go me. LOL! I'm not a big social media person, though. YT is as far as I go. ;) Thanks for reviewing it. This way even I can learn about new things.
My mom has dry mature skin and this mineral sunscreen is perfect for her! Although, for my oily teenage acne prone skin it is too heavy and oily, yet it feels very nice on the skin!
I’m a POC (i have medium brown skin) and have the SLIGHTEST, SLIGHTEST white cast with this sunscreen (it does focus mainly on hair such as eyebrows and takes a few minutes to set in). It does look greasy so if that matters to you, you may not like it. Also, it does dry out my skin (I have dry skin already and every sunscreen dries me out anyway). I REALLY LOVE IT. It definitely is sensitive skin friendly. Honestly I feel like for now (especially since purito failed) this is as good as sunscreen will get for me
I purchased the sunscreen a few months ago because it was on sale for $12 and got the baby lotion as a gift with my purchase. I've loved the sunscreen so far because I have dry skin, so the "greasy" feeling doesn't bother me. The cast isn't too bad on me because I have fair skin. What made me buy it was the price, it being vegan and cruelty free, and the misleading ad. I wanted to see it it was true because other mineral sunscreens like the Roche Posay ones leave a heavy cast on my skin. I don't know if there are any studies confirming this, but for some reason this Pipette mineral sunscreen has helped my acne breakouts! I don't know if it's due to the zinc oxide, but it reduces my acne's inflammation after using it for a couple of days.
I absolutely love this brand for myself and my baby. The slight white cast disappears after a few min for me and I don’t mind the slight greasiness since I have dry skin, really good under makeup as well.
I absolutely adore the sunscreen. I have light to medium skin and the cast is not noticeable on my skin. I also have hypothyroidism and I’m so happy that this doesn’t have soy since I’m sensitive to that. First time trying squalane products and I’m liking them so far! I have the balm, sunscreen and lotion. After this video I’m going to have to buy the eczema cream.
Very dry, sensitive, acne+eczema prone, and I have repurchased this SPF. I like the "shine" because I prefer that to my regular, arid, desert-face. I'm definitely a F1 skin type, so the cast blends in for me well. The Pipette reminds me of the Cotz non- tinted, but at a better price-per-ounce. I also love the Pipette baby balm as a lip balm before going to sleep... and I agree the baby lotion is not really great for extra dry body skin. It has worked out the best for me as a facial moisturizer. I bought them based on what I had learned from this channel, actually! Glad to see the freeview. :)
Hey Dr. Dray! I’m of deeper skin, makeup companies describe my tone as medium dark. I use to use the Aveeno Baby SPF 50; it’s very thick and the white cast is very difficult to work with. I recently switch to Pipette and I must say I am impressed. In comparison to the Aveeno, the formula is quite lightweight and easy to work with. I do agree that it leave a cast but it’s very manageable and nothing like what I’m use to. It’s nice! I will say, for someone with drier skin who never really shows any oiliness, this leaves me GREASY AF by end of day. But I’d rather be greasy than ashy, so I highly recommend for brown skin!
I'm a very dark guy - Fitzpatrick 6 - and have combination skin. I got my pipette delivery in last week & having used it for about a week now, I can say for skin of my shade: 1) There *is* a cast, however it is _very, very light_ . Practically unnoticeable. If that still bothers you Dr Alexis Stephens has a video where she advises on how to pigment your own sunscreen to your own preference 2) Don't slap it all on at once. Apply small amounts and work them into the skin, then when they're adequately absorbed do another blob until you've got adequate coverage. If you put large amounts on all at once you'll get a white cast 3) A trick I use for the facial hair residue is I use a beard oil after applying the sunscreen and it just disappears 🤷🏿♂️
Thank goodness I bought this sunscreen 3 days ago before Dr. Dray recommend it here which means it will be sold out everywhere now. I personally love this sunscreen. It is moisturizing, spreads easily and the cast completely disappears within 10 to 15 minutes. This sunscreen and the Cotz ones are the only all mineral sunscreens I’ve tried that leave zero white cast. And I’ve tried a lot! This is NOT one for oily people but if you have dry skin you’ll love it.
What a timely video, my sample of the SPF just arrived in the mail today! I bought it to protect my eyes, which get irritated by other SPFs I've tried.
I just got the sunscreen.. I like it so far. It does leave a white/gray cast, but after 10 minutes you can’t even notice it. I honestly don’t mind it though. As far as leaving your face greasy, it’s not that bad either. It’s more like a glow on your skin. I really do like the sunscreen.
BEST sunscreen I've used!!! NO, it does NOT leave a white cast on my skin and UNLIKE the Purito Water Comfy sunscreen you don't get that ugly unappealing shedding. LOVE it!
@Trinity M I felt I did have to tell everyone just as the Doctor here told everyone her opinion. This was my PERSONAL opinion and does not necessarily mean everyone will have the same effect. lol
This sunscreen is way cheaper than a lot of others out there and I've read a lot of reviews that say it's actually moisturizing. I have yet to find a daily zinc spf that doesn't dry my skin out so much it hurts. Gonna give this one a try.
Thank you for all your videos! Never had a reaction to skincare before, but developed a horrible, blistering reaction to one of my absolute favorites, Pipette Mineral sunscreen. I have no idea which ingredient. I'm scared of ever encountering the mystery ingredient ever again. For 3 days, felt like bugs were crawling and biting. Horrible. I stopped using and then tried to reintroduce with Spot test. Definitely the culprit. Wonder if anyone else ran into this and was able to identify the ingredient.
I have medium/olive toned skin and this leaves no white cast when fully absorbed. It's 3-4 cheaper than the Biossance, it is WAY less greasy than the Biossance and it is SPF 50 versus Biossance SPF 30. This is a no brainer if you don't have a million dollars to spend on sunscreen.
I'm a woman of color with tan skin tone. I'm currently using this SPF and yes, it leaves a little white cast and it could be oily, but I put a little bit of bronzer and it looks fantastic. I personally love it and the price is great.
I use the Pipette baby SPF 50 and the white cast on my caramel hued Black skin is very minimal once it sinks in. I slather it on. It spreads very easily without much friction. I have balanced/normal skin.
Thanks for this! I love several Biossance products and had no idea Pipette was part of the same company. Comparing the products, they are super similar - but at a fraction of the price!!!
I recently started using their sunscreen and it’s my new holy grail for my dry & extremely sensitive skin !! i personally love the shiny glow it gives me, but it’s definitely a personal preference! not sure if it’ll work for the summer bc it is greasy (i apply it in layers which helps) but for winter i’m loving the hydrating spf 50 protection from a cruelty free brand 😍😍
I discovered this brand when I tried the wash and lotion for my baby, and they are both great. I started using the sunscreen a month ago. It is VERY shiny. I have dry skin, and some days I need to set it with powder. However I love it for winter. It's perfect for me since I'm very fair and prefer an SPF 50. The cast goes away very quickly for me but it's definitely there. I will continue searching for a good water resistant one for summer, but I could use this comfortably all fall and winter.
@@DrDrayzday oh wow it does look noticeably lighter in this video, almost strawberry blonde, and I love it! It really brightens your face up and compliments your untanned skin. Have you ever thought about coloring your hair? Nothing drastic, but some highlights or a bit of a brighter tone could be super fun to try out! I mean, not that I think there's anything wrong with your hair 😂 LOL I've just always enjoyed coloring mine and was curious of your thoughts on the matter
I have dark skin and I started using this sunscreen recently because it was recommended by Dr. Alexis Stephens here on UA-cam. She recommended using tinting products or foundation with the product. I like it for all of the reasons you mentioned. It does leave a cast but I noticed that the cast fades after 10-15 minutes, though you will remain a lil shiny. I’ve mixed it with concealer and it does help reduce the shine. I will likely repurchase! Thanks for the review, and for using the word “Black”!
I finished five bottles of Pipette sunscreen. It made my skin glows. Hydration lasts about several hours in NE winters, a couple times of re-applying are needed. This sunscreen doesn’t work for hot and humid environments. It doesn’t stay on the face. It gets sweat off like mud slide.
this sunscreen has been a life saver for me! dry, sensitive, eczema prone skin on my face and it doesn't irritate or burn at all and makes my face not look dry!! my bf has combo skin and has said that it feels more greasy on him, but i think it works great for dry sensitive skin! i don't notice a cast but my skin is very fair and i try to really blend it in
The Squalane with the sanitizer is a GAME changer, I sometimes apply this over a dozen times a day and wont have dry skin or irritation by the end of day... its great!
Yes, this!! I am newer to the website and find it incredibly confusing, and would love an educated guide from a scientific perspective to walk me through why not to rely on them. Dr. Dray’s guidance would be so helpful here!
Most shiny sunscreens react to foundations. It male them oxidize and look darker, more gray or orange depending on the formulation. An option can be to wait for the sunscreen to dry on the face or powder it really lightly before putting on the foundation, yet again, it might still react.
Thanks for this video Dr. Dre! I loved the sunscreen. It does leave a little bit of a white cast but it’s not very obvious and you can hardly see it after you blend it in really well on my lightly tanned skin. My dry, sensitive rosacea skin loves how moisturizing and calming it feels.
I really like these products. I received a gift set at my baby shower. I LOVE the ointment or balm and the oil as well for both my baby and myself. My skin loves squalane. Great prices, would definitely repurchase.
I bought 4 bottles of this sunscreen because it was 2 for $20 on their website . I have dry acne prone very sensitive skin and it's hard to find a mineral sunscreen that works for me. On my light medium skin the white cast goes away after application. It is very dewy and a little greasy which is perfect for my dry skin. If you have oily skin, I wouldn't recommend. For my sensitivity it did burn a little when I first applied it, but the burning went away. So far this is the best mineral sunscreen for dry skin that you can find at Target.
I’ve really been enjoying Cotz Flawless Complexion. I have Fitzpatrick IV skin and it doesn’t leave a cast when rubbed in well. That’s the only mineral sunscreen that works with my skin tone so far.
What a coincidence--I just applied this sunscreen minutes before this video popped up in my feed. I have brown skin ( Fitzgerald IV/V, South Asian/Asian Indian), and it does leave a cast on me. However, a decent amount of that cast fades after 20 minutes. It's still a bit too much for my face. But I'm using it on the backs of my hands and the tops of my feet. The cast fades enough to not be that noticeable. And my hands are so dry (thanks, Covid!) that the cream is soothing. And maybe because it's a mineral sunscreen, the effect lasts longer than my usual hand lotion.
On day one with this sunscreen. I’ve worn it for about 10 hours now and the shine has not gone away. I applied a fair powder all over to reduce the shine a little bit. I have extremely fair skin and still noticed the white cast. The powder on my face after a full day appears slightly patchy now, but I’m also not someone who typically wears face makeup. For the price and the spf, I am happy with this product. I wish it were something more absorbing but I’m satisfied
Just purchased this sunscreen and then looked at this video. Haven't tried it on my face. I'm a POC and I didnt notice a cast on my arms or hands. I use a Dr. V sunscreen on my face.
Your skin always looks so good and your hair so healthy. Ughhh, I turned 37 and I feel like someone pushed the fast forward but on the aging process for me but I am glad I found your channel. ❤
Bought this sunscreen at Walmart. I am fair skin and regularly use retin-a for hyperpigmentation / melasma. This is the BEST sunscreen I’ve ever used (I’ve tried 40-50 now). It leaves almost no white cast, feels moisturizing, and leaves a subtle glow. I can’t recommend it enough. Elta MD clear- no more. Just no. This is so much better.
Gut health is always related to skin and hair health! Fasting definitely helps our bodies reset and the gut to be rebalanced. I fast every day 17-20 hours.
Thanks Dr Dray! I have combo skin, deep skin tone. Have been using the sunscreen for about 2 months. It does leave a cast and reapplication does make my nose and chin shiny. But I can actually tolerate that since I'm indoors so much. But I have experienced irritation around my chin, so probably won't repurchase. Thank goodness you have other sunscreen vids I can check out for more ideas!!
I tried the sunscreen and it gave me some milia around my nose bridge. I wear glasses and have sensitive, combination skin (oily around t-zone). Otherwise, the sunscreen isn't irritating and rather hydrating for a mineral sunscreen.
Hey Dr. Dray! Recently fell into a rabbit hole of watching your videos and I can’t thank you enough for what you do! The only Back Acne video of yours that I can find is from 3 years ago, you should do an updated version! Love from Canada🇨🇦❤️
This sunscreen is a good one, and it does leave a cast, but I’m pretty fair, so that’s not as much of an issue. However, you’re so right: it is so shiny. I’m on the drier side, and I love a dewy look, but it’s even a bit much for me. But omg, as far as spfs that are nice to apply, holy cannoli, this is incredible. It’s maybe my fav of my sunscreens to apply ever? And I have a lot of them! However I I have two concerns: I wonder if that hydrating formula is gonna be something I had when the incredibly humid summers arrive in my area. (Right now it’s the best, though) I also feel like this type of non nano zinc comes off on everything! I see white traces on my sweatshirts etc. Does this happen to anyone else? I wear mineral sunscreen on my face every single day, so I’m no stranger to zinc either.
This is a sunscreen I use daily. I am a light complexion black women and don’t get much of a cast if I really rub it in. I use about 1/4 tsp maybe a little more.
I'm currently using the sunscreen, I have a medium skin tone, acne and hyperpigmentation prone skin. I have been using it it for one month and really like it. It does leave a white cast on my skin but is not too noticeable. I like the way it makes my skin feel and it also seems to not make the hyperpigmentation and redness as noticeable due to the slight cast, I heard about this sunscreen from Dr. Alexis Stephens video: Best Sunscreens For darker skin tones
I'm black and I used this sunscreen. Couple things mmmkay It leaves a slight white cast that goes away and comes back it is strange. As for the feel of it, this is definitely not for hot/humid temps as it will make your face feel disgusting. I have acne-prone skin and when I put it on my skin I was afraid it would cause acne. I just use the biossance right now and I use that on my body.
I tried this out a couple of months ago for the first time and I love it. I have very fair skin, but I still get white cast with most of the mineral sunscreens. I get none with this. I also have pretty dry skin, and I don't end up looking shiny at all. I think it's great and affordable. My current fave.
I really wanted to like Pipette since I'm a fan of Rosie HW but unfortunately didn't like the body wash and shampoo, it left a strange feeling on my hair.
Anyone who thinks this doesn’t leave a white cast isn’t applying enough. Thanks for your review! I do still like it for the price, the emollient effect on my dry skin, the non-irritating mineral formula, and the SPF 50 rating, but the search for my go-to sunscreen will continue!
Physical sunscreens always dry my skin out. I live in an arid climate, so I feel like I'm the outlier who loves greasy sunscreens. This one looks like it might have potential, lol.
I think you’ll love it. I have rosacea, so although the I’m not necessarily really dry, with that inherent skin barrier defect as part of rosacea, I lose moisture through the day faster than most - especially in the winter. (Where I live it’s ultra humid in the summer.). At afternoon time, my skin tends to start feeling a bit tight and dry. This fixes that right up. I imagine living in a dry climate would create a similar scenario.
I have no problems with cast on any sunscreen I’ve tried from cheap to expensive I use a teaspoon for my face and a little bit more and the key for no white cast it’s apply and blend each layer slowly and not put the whole blob at once. Everybody just blob the whole thing at once and then that’s why there’s white cast
I have been watching your videos for such a long time and your insight and advice has truly transformed my skincare routine! I have definitely seen results and I especially love gaining new information between my derm visits!
You're amazing Dr. Dray!! I know I keep saying this to you, but it is the absolute truth! You upload daily and every single video is of EXCELLENT quality and full of very useful information. You're my favorite UA-camr!💖 So grateful I found you.
I have light brown skin (that is also sensitive) and this is one of my favorite sunscreens in this price range. My bf has brown skin and he loves it as well. Some of the whitecast goes away after a few minutes, but it may be more challenging for deeper brown and black skin. It may be a heavier formula for some, but i enjoy the more luminous, glowy look. My makeup adheres pretty well to it too! I have already recommended this product to a couple friends :)
This sunscreen definitely leaves a cast on my deep skin, but I love it. It doesn’t irritate my skin and is great for the colder months. I wouldn’t recommend it for the summer/spring, as it is very greasy. I’ve been tolerating the cast, since we’re in quarantine and wearing masks. Great review!

It drives me crazy when I see these ads where they apply a tear drop’s worth of a physical sunscreen and are like “sEE thEreS nO cASt!! 😍”..
🤣🤣 same!
Depends how much skin they cover.
I tried this sunscreen and would not recommend for dark skin tones. The product left my skin looking purple, I hated it.
Thanks for sharing!! I suspected it would leave a lavender hue on deeper skin tones
Thanks! Been wondering about this product!

I purchased the sunscreen a few months ago because it was on sale for $12 and got the baby lotion as a gift with my purchase. I've loved the sunscreen so far because I have dry skin, so the "greasy" feeling doesn't bother me. The cast isn't too bad on me because I have fair skin. What made me buy it was the price, it being vegan and cruelty free, and the misleading ad. I wanted to see it it was true because other mineral sunscreens like the Roche Posay ones leave a heavy cast on my skin. I don't know if there are any studies confirming this, but for some reason this Pipette mineral sunscreen has helped my acne breakouts! I don't know if it's due to the zinc oxide, but it reduces my acne's inflammation after using it for a couple of days.
I was waiting to hear someone else say it! Yes I notice the same thing too! And I am super happy!!
I absolutely love this brand for myself and my baby. The slight white cast disappears after a few min for me and I don’t mind the slight greasiness since I have dry skin, really good under makeup as well.
I use this sunscreen too and it completely disappears leaving zero white cast. I don’t know why Dr. dray is saying it leaves a white cast.
@@anastasiawalter2390 it does on medium to darker skin people
what color complexion do you have?
@@deadgirl7197 not me and I would describe myself on the med…like side…..a caramel color maybe. It works very well for me with no cast.
@@seasonedsofisticate1901 im deep dark skin
I absolutely adore the sunscreen. I have light to medium skin and the cast is not noticeable on my skin. I also have hypothyroidism and I’m so happy that this doesn’t have soy since I’m sensitive to that. First time trying squalane products and I’m liking them so far! I have the balm, sunscreen and lotion. After this video I’m going to have to buy the eczema cream.
Very dry, sensitive, acne+eczema prone, and I have repurchased this SPF. I like the "shine" because I prefer that to my regular, arid, desert-face. I'm definitely a F1 skin type, so the cast blends in for me well. The Pipette reminds me of the Cotz non- tinted, but at a better price-per-ounce.
I also love the Pipette baby balm as a lip balm before going to sleep... and I agree the baby lotion is not really great for extra dry body skin. It has worked out the best for me as a facial moisturizer.
I bought them based on what I had learned from this channel, actually! Glad to see the freeview. :)
Hey Dr. Dray! I’m of deeper skin, makeup companies describe my tone as medium dark. I use to use the Aveeno Baby SPF 50; it’s very thick and the white cast is very difficult to work with. I recently switch to Pipette and I must say I am impressed. In comparison to the Aveeno, the formula is quite lightweight and easy to work with. I do agree that it leave a cast but it’s very manageable and nothing like what I’m use to. It’s nice! I will say, for someone with drier skin who never really shows any oiliness, this leaves me GREASY AF by end of day. But I’d rather be greasy than ashy, so I highly recommend for brown skin!
I'm a very dark guy - Fitzpatrick 6 - and have combination skin. I got my pipette delivery in last week & having used it for about a week now, I can say for skin of my shade:
1) There *is* a cast, however it is _very, very light_ . Practically unnoticeable. If that still bothers you Dr Alexis Stephens has a video where she advises on how to pigment your own sunscreen to your own preference
2) Don't slap it all on at once. Apply small amounts and work them into the skin, then when they're adequately absorbed do another blob until you've got adequate coverage. If you put large amounts on all at once you'll get a white cast
3) A trick I use for the facial hair residue is I use a beard oil after applying the sunscreen and it just disappears 🤷🏿♂️
You're awesome 🙂
Thank goodness I bought this sunscreen 3 days ago before Dr. Dray recommend it here which means it will be sold out everywhere now. I personally love this sunscreen. It is moisturizing, spreads easily and the cast completely disappears within 10 to 15 minutes. This sunscreen and the Cotz ones are the only all mineral sunscreens I’ve tried that leave zero white cast. And I’ve tried a lot! This is NOT one for oily people but if you have dry skin you’ll love it.
This balm and shampoo is the only thing that helped my daughter’s cradle cap and kept her hair moisturized. Love it!
I use it every day and have combination skin. I highly recommend their sunscreen! I don’t mind the shine, because it shows that I have healthy skin!
I have been searching for a vegan, cruelty free alternative to Vaseline. Thank you so so much!
I’ve tried and liked a few of their products but haven’t tried the spf yet, I have very dry and sensitive skin so I can’t wait to give it a try now!
I have dry skin with rosecea and eczema; pipette baby products (I have used most of them fragrance free ofcourse) have helped me a lot.
What a timely video, my sample of the SPF just arrived in the mail today! I bought it to protect my eyes, which get irritated by other SPFs I've tried.
Love the sunscreen. Deeper skin tone if I little in. Wait rub more in. I use a glossier skin tint over. Then no cast. I have very dry skin. Luv it
I just got the sunscreen.. I like it so far. It does leave a white/gray cast, but after 10 minutes you can’t even notice it. I honestly don’t mind it though. As far as leaving your face greasy, it’s not that bad either. It’s more like a glow on your skin. I really do like the sunscreen.
BEST sunscreen I've used!!! NO, it does NOT leave a white cast on my skin and UNLIKE the Purito Water Comfy sunscreen you don't get that ugly unappealing shedding. LOVE it!
hi, what color complexion do you have?
@@AyLiNMuSiC8613 my complexion is medium
@Trinity M I felt I did have to tell everyone just as the Doctor here told everyone her opinion. This was my PERSONAL opinion and does not necessarily mean everyone will have the same effect. lol
This sunscreen is way cheaper than a lot of others out there and I've read a lot of reviews that say it's actually moisturizing. I have yet to find a daily zinc spf that doesn't dry my skin out so much it hurts. Gonna give this one a try.
Me either! Did you try it? Was it drying?
Please let us know if this Pipette sunscreen dried out your skin. I have your problem of zinc sunscreens drying my skin.
Thank you for all your videos!
Never had a reaction to skincare before, but developed a horrible, blistering reaction to one of my absolute favorites, Pipette Mineral sunscreen. I have no idea which ingredient. I'm scared of ever encountering the mystery ingredient ever again. For 3 days, felt like bugs were crawling and biting. Horrible. I stopped using and then tried to reintroduce with Spot test. Definitely the culprit. Wonder if anyone else ran into this and was able to identify the ingredient.
I had exactly the same reaction, it's the first time my face is so horrible. I think zinc is the culprit because my skin does not tolerate zinc...
I have medium/olive toned skin and this leaves no white cast when fully absorbed. It's 3-4 cheaper than the Biossance, it is WAY less greasy than the Biossance and it is SPF 50 versus Biossance SPF 30. This is a no brainer if you don't have a million dollars to spend on sunscreen.
Thanks for the content. Hope you, your mom and Tybee had a good weekend, and a nice start to the week.
Thanks, you too!
I love the Pipette sunscreen for my dry skin!
I'm a woman of color with tan skin tone. I'm currently using this SPF and yes, it leaves a little white cast and it could be oily, but I put a little bit of bronzer and it looks fantastic. I personally love it and the price is great.
I LOVE Pipettebaby! Currently obsessed with their Balm Stick.
I have medium skin tone and it doesn’t leave a white cast but definitely make my face so shiny!
Me too but I love the shine.
I use the Pipette baby SPF 50 and the white cast on my caramel hued Black skin is very minimal once it sinks in. I slather it on. It spreads very easily without much friction. I have balanced/normal skin.
Thanks for this! I love several Biossance products and had no idea Pipette was part of the same company. Comparing the products, they are super similar - but at a fraction of the price!!!
I recently started using their sunscreen and it’s my new holy grail for my dry & extremely sensitive skin !! i personally love the shiny glow it gives me, but it’s definitely a personal preference! not sure if it’ll work for the summer bc it is greasy (i apply it in layers which helps) but for winter i’m loving the hydrating spf 50 protection from a cruelty free brand 😍😍
I love the glow too!
What do you use for the summer?
This stuff works amazing for my sons severe eczema. especially the balm and baby oil.
DR. DRAY U need ur own skincare line! I would buy EVERYTHING!!!
I discovered this brand when I tried the wash and lotion for my baby, and they are both great. I started using the sunscreen a month ago. It is VERY shiny. I have dry skin, and some days I need to set it with powder. However I love it for winter. It's perfect for me since I'm very fair and prefer an SPF 50. The cast goes away very quickly for me but it's definitely there. I will continue searching for a good water resistant one for summer, but I could use this comfortably all fall and winter.
I've seen the brand but never drawn to it. Good to see your experience. On a side note your hair looks blonde now.
my hair looks blonde from time to time and depending on the way i comb it and the light
@@DrDrayzday oh wow it does look noticeably lighter in this video, almost strawberry blonde, and I love it! It really brightens your face up and compliments your untanned skin. Have you ever thought about coloring your hair? Nothing drastic, but some highlights or a bit of a brighter tone could be super fun to try out! I mean, not that I think there's anything wrong with your hair 😂 LOL I've just always enjoyed coloring mine and was curious of your thoughts on the matter
I have dark skin and I started using this sunscreen recently because it was recommended by Dr. Alexis Stephens here on UA-cam. She recommended using tinting products or foundation with the product. I like it for all of the reasons you mentioned. It does leave a cast but I noticed that the cast fades after 10-15 minutes, though you will remain a lil shiny. I’ve mixed it with concealer and it does help reduce the shine. I will likely repurchase! Thanks for the review, and for using the word “Black”!
I finished five bottles of Pipette sunscreen. It made my skin glows. Hydration lasts about several hours in NE winters, a couple times of re-applying are needed. This sunscreen doesn’t work for hot and humid environments. It doesn’t stay on the face. It gets sweat off like mud slide.
this sunscreen has been a life saver for me! dry, sensitive, eczema prone skin on my face and it doesn't irritate or burn at all and makes my face not look dry!! my bf has combo skin and has said that it feels more greasy on him, but i think it works great for dry sensitive skin! i don't notice a cast but my skin is very fair and i try to really blend it in
I like their hand sanitizer. It's fragrance free and doesn't dry me skin. I've never tried any of thieir other products.
The Squalane with the sanitizer is a GAME changer, I sometimes apply this over a dozen times a day and wont have dry skin or irritation by the end of day... its great!
Would love a "shop with me" but on ewg's website 😂 please consider dragging them further
They lost all credibility for me, when the Kardashians began endorsing them.
Yes, this!! I am newer to the website and find it incredibly confusing, and would love an educated guide from a scientific perspective to walk me through why not to rely on them. Dr. Dray’s guidance would be so helpful here!
Most shiny sunscreens react to foundations. It male them oxidize and look darker, more gray or orange depending on the formulation. An option can be to wait for the sunscreen to dry on the face or powder it really lightly before putting on the foundation, yet again, it might still react.
Thanks for this video Dr. Dre! I loved the sunscreen. It does leave a little bit of a white cast but it’s not very obvious and you can hardly see it after you blend it in really well on my lightly tanned skin. My dry, sensitive rosacea skin loves how moisturizing and calming it feels.
I use the Bare Republic Mineral lotion SPF 70, and it isn't that bad as someone with a tan skin tone. It does have a matte drying effect too.
I really like these products. I received a gift set at my baby shower. I LOVE the ointment or balm and the oil as well for both my baby and myself. My skin loves squalane. Great prices, would definitely repurchase.
Thanks for sharing!!
It’s 40% off site wide and 2 free full size items on their website
I bought 4 bottles of this sunscreen because it was 2 for $20 on their website . I have dry acne prone very sensitive skin and it's hard to find a mineral sunscreen that works for me. On my light medium skin the white cast goes away after application. It is very dewy and a little greasy which is perfect for my dry skin. If you have oily skin, I wouldn't recommend.
For my sensitivity it did burn a little when I first applied it, but the burning went away. So far this is the best mineral sunscreen for dry skin that you can find at Target.
I’ve really been enjoying Cotz Flawless Complexion. I have Fitzpatrick IV skin and it doesn’t leave a cast when rubbed in well. That’s the only mineral sunscreen that works with my skin tone so far.
What a coincidence--I just applied this sunscreen minutes before this video popped up in my feed. I have brown skin ( Fitzgerald IV/V, South Asian/Asian Indian), and it does leave a cast on me. However, a decent amount of that cast fades after 20 minutes. It's still a bit too much for my face. But I'm using it on the backs of my hands and the tops of my feet. The cast fades enough to not be that noticeable. And my hands are so dry (thanks, Covid!) that the cream is soothing. And maybe because it's a mineral sunscreen, the effect lasts longer than my usual hand lotion.
On day one with this sunscreen. I’ve worn it for about 10 hours now and the shine has not gone away. I applied a fair powder all over to reduce the shine a little bit. I have extremely fair skin and still noticed the white cast. The powder on my face after a full day appears slightly patchy now, but I’m also not someone who typically wears face makeup. For the price and the spf, I am happy with this product. I wish it were something more absorbing but I’m satisfied
Just purchased this sunscreen and then looked at this video. Haven't tried it on my face. I'm a POC and I didnt notice a cast on my arms or hands. I use a Dr. V sunscreen on my face.
Your skin always looks so good and your hair so healthy. Ughhh, I turned 37 and I feel like someone pushed the fast forward but on the aging process for me but I am glad I found your channel. ❤
Bought this sunscreen at Walmart. I am fair skin and regularly use retin-a for hyperpigmentation / melasma. This is the BEST sunscreen I’ve ever used (I’ve tried 40-50 now). It leaves almost no white cast, feels moisturizing, and leaves a subtle glow. I can’t recommend it enough.
Elta MD clear- no more. Just no. This is so much better.
dr, dray, could you make a video about fasting and the health of the skin/hair? are they somewhat related? thank you as always!
good idea
Please
Gut health is always related to skin and hair health! Fasting definitely helps our bodies reset and the gut to be rebalanced. I fast every day 17-20 hours.
@@DrDrayzday thank you for everything !
I’ve been using the wash and the lotion on my daughter for months. I’m a huge fan of this line. Will definitely try the sunscreen now!
Thanks Dr Dray! I have combo skin, deep skin tone. Have been using the sunscreen for about 2 months. It does leave a cast and reapplication does make my nose and chin shiny. But I can actually tolerate that since I'm indoors so much. But I have experienced irritation around my chin, so probably won't repurchase. Thank goodness you have other sunscreen vids I can check out for more ideas!!
I tried the sunscreen and it gave me some milia around my nose bridge. I wear glasses and have sensitive, combination skin (oily around t-zone). Otherwise, the sunscreen isn't irritating and rather hydrating for a mineral sunscreen.
Hey Dr. Dray! Recently fell into a rabbit hole of watching your videos and I can’t thank you enough for what you do! The only Back Acne video of yours that I can find is from 3 years ago, you should do an updated version! Love from Canada🇨🇦❤️
She's got one from last year featuring trifarotene.
If Dr Dray approves it, I feel safe with its SPF claim even though it only has 1 sunscreen filter zinc oxide!
This sunscreen is a good one, and it does leave a cast, but I’m pretty fair, so that’s not as much of an issue. However, you’re so right: it is so shiny. I’m on the drier side, and I love a dewy look, but it’s even a bit much for me. But omg, as far as spfs that are nice to apply, holy cannoli, this is incredible. It’s maybe my fav of my sunscreens to apply ever? And I have a lot of them! However I I have two concerns: I wonder if that hydrating formula is gonna be something I had when the incredibly humid summers arrive in my area. (Right now it’s the best, though) I also feel like this type of non nano zinc comes off on everything! I see white traces on my sweatshirts etc. Does this happen to anyone else? I wear mineral sunscreen on my face every single day, so I’m no stranger to zinc either.
This is a sunscreen I use daily. I am a light complexion black women and don’t get much of a cast if I really rub it in. I use about 1/4 tsp maybe a little more.
I'm currently using the sunscreen, I have a medium skin tone, acne and hyperpigmentation prone skin. I have been using it it for one month and really like it. It does leave a white cast on my skin but is not too noticeable. I like the way it makes my skin feel and it also seems to not make the hyperpigmentation and redness as noticeable due to the slight cast, I heard about this sunscreen from Dr. Alexis Stephens video: Best Sunscreens For darker skin tones
I'm black and I used this sunscreen. Couple things mmmkay It leaves a slight white cast that goes away and comes back it is strange. As for the feel of it, this is definitely not for hot/humid temps as it will make your face feel disgusting. I have acne-prone skin and when I put it on my skin I was afraid it would cause acne. I just use the biossance right now and I use that on my body.
I tried this out a couple of months ago for the first time and I love it. I have very fair skin, but I still get white cast with most of the mineral sunscreens. I get none with this. I also have pretty dry skin, and I don't end up looking shiny at all. I think it's great and affordable. My current fave.
I really wanted to like Pipette since I'm a fan of Rosie HW but unfortunately didn't like the body wash and shampoo, it left a strange feeling on my hair.
I was on the fence about buying this sunscreen...now I know it's a no-go. Thanks, Dr. Dray!
I think a shiny cast is still much better than a matte cast, it looks pearlescent almost.
Yeah I would describe it as dewy. I get compliments on how “glowy” I look when I wear this sunscreen!
i also love how it looks on zoom, it looks much more glowy than greasy 🥰
I have used their baby wash and baby oil and liked them.
I don’t want my face to look like this
Anyone who thinks this doesn’t leave a white cast isn’t applying enough. Thanks for your review! I do still like it for the price, the emollient effect on my dry skin, the non-irritating mineral formula, and the SPF 50 rating, but the search for my go-to sunscreen will continue!
Yay! I’ve loved all the products I’ve gotten from Pipette.
Physical sunscreens always dry my skin out. I live in an arid climate, so I feel like I'm the outlier who loves greasy sunscreens. This one looks like it might have potential, lol.
it is pretty emollient
i have dry skin, this sunscreen definitely made my skin glow/greasy but kept it from cracking, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
@@alicelayola5630 That's great to know, thank you!
I think you’ll love it. I have rosacea, so although the I’m not necessarily really dry, with that inherent skin barrier defect as part of rosacea, I lose moisture through the day faster than most - especially in the winter. (Where I live it’s ultra humid in the summer.). At afternoon time, my skin tends to start feeling a bit tight and dry. This fixes that right up. I imagine living in a dry climate would create a similar scenario.
@@eobrien1 Thank you, I appreciate your response!
Love ❤️ your videos, thanks for sharing. I use pipette spf. I really enjoy it and don’t really notice a cast.
Can you make a video on your thoughts about the gorilla glue girl and her scalp?
Omggg 😭😭
What about using the Lotion and balm for sandwiching Tretinoin?
Hope you had a great weekend, Dr. Gray! Always enjoyed your video. Have a great week.
Thanks, you too!
I have no problems with cast on any sunscreen I’ve tried from cheap to expensive I use a teaspoon for my face and a little bit more and the key for no white cast it’s apply and blend each layer slowly and not put the whole blob at once. Everybody just blob the whole thing at once and then that’s why there’s white cast
I have been watching your videos for such a long time and your insight and advice has truly transformed my skincare routine! I have definitely seen results and I especially love gaining new information between my derm visits!
THANK YOU for keeping skin of color in mind in your reviews, please keep it up!
Thanks so much Dr Dray. I have learned so much and saved so much money from watching your channel. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪💕🇮🇪
Happy to hear that!
You're amazing Dr. Dray!! I know I keep saying this to you, but it is the absolute truth! You upload daily and every single video is of EXCELLENT quality and full of very useful information. You're my favorite UA-camr!💖 So grateful I found you.
Thanks so much!
I have light brown skin (that is also sensitive) and this is one of my favorite sunscreens in this price range. My bf has brown skin and he loves it as well. Some of the whitecast goes away after a few minutes, but it may be more challenging for deeper brown and black skin. It may be a heavier formula for some, but i enjoy the more luminous, glowy look. My makeup adheres pretty well to it too! I have already recommended this product to a couple friends :)
Pretty color on your hair Dr Dray. Looks good on you.
